Hi Ajeesh
Welcome to the Community!
Using the Plex Media Server and the Plex Web App would be free of charge together with all non-mobile apps.
If you are using the Plex Mobile App it has limitations and that is possibly why it's asking you to buy Plex Pass. Usually there's a limit on how long you can watch a media from the Plex Media Server.
You may want to use the Web App on your mobile phone to fully utilize the free access.
Please see https://support.plex.tv/articles/202526943-plex-free-vs-paid/
Hope this helps!

There is only one version of plex, but it does use a freemium business model - basic features are free, but some features are paid. Those paid features are linked to your account (at plex.tv), not the server. You can run multiple plex servers if you want, and if you have plex-pass the preimium features apply to all of them.
The premium features that plex-pass gives you are here: https://www.plex.tv/plex-pass/ In addition, new features are often offered first to plex-pass subscribers.
